[GODFLESH - Purge (9th/6/2023) (Avalanche Recordings, CD/Vinyl)]

Both minimal and maximal, with layer upon layer of filth and heaviness, Godflesh deliver alien grooves that swing whilst also retaining the psychedelic / bad trip edge that Godflesh has always obsessed over. This is, and always has been, feel bad music; the title alone 'PURGE' references directly how songwriter / creator Justin K Broadrick utilises this music as temporary relief from his diagnosed autism and PTSD, a journey he has been on since he began creating music and feeling alone and as an outsider in any 'scene' or 'group' from childhood and throughout his adulthood.

 

Godflesh gives him the means to express a lifetime of feeling misunderstood and overwhelmed by hyper sensitivity, the band being the vehicle to give him some sense of catharsis and transcendence; a way of communicating overload and constant disenchantment at the human condition, and man's abuse of power and the systems that chain us.

 

The album references the cycle of horror that man has always and will always put us through; those in positions of power revel in the infliction of pain and horror upon individuals, in the name of their religion, their power, their money, their flags....

 

8 songs, delivered in a concise fashion for fellow outsiders.

 

[Snowbeasts & Solypsis - Firelands]

really dig that track and video a lot

[The Haxan Cloak - Excavation]

this is a gem too

Body Riddle (and associated EPs) was when he switched to Clark. The way you worded that made me wonder, was there a legal reason he had to?

I guess I always assumed so?

 

This thread made me go back through some of his stuff - Empty the Bones is still a 10/10 album for me. The art, the track names, the music box-esque melodies, the beats, everything just all fits so perfectly together.

It's funny... the art direction for a few of his albums often feels like 'here is this random guy. interested?'

Also, don't want to get all Woodward & Bernstein but I just discovered that his first name is Chris instead of Clark? Insane.

I can’t remember if it was Body Riddle or Turning Dragon where he had to switch from Chris Clark to Clark.

 

Also, he is up to like 8 versions of that new single and some sound really interesting. I’d hope they get released in the 4 month wait for the album…

I dig the Confield one too but I didn’t include it in my order - I’m holding out for the ones they release for the Untilted & Quaristice represses in 2030.

is this Thom Yorke singing? 

 

lol this is really unexpected 

looks like Thom is exec producer and has a guest spot on a track

 

And with this comes the end of an incredible run of album names. This one sounds like something my son would say about someone on his minecraft server or some shit. Still looking forward to this though

[Concept: your in 1983: What the **** do you listen to?]

 

[Autechre on Mixlr Now]

late to the party here but damn - sean delivers yet again. fantastic mix

[The Smile - A Light For Attracting Attention]

skinner's drumming compliments them so well. saw them in brooklyn in november and they sounded enourmous with just the 3 of them. thom and jonny switched instruments on almost every song.  fantastic stuff really.

I got a feeling (totally unfounded) that the second set (or sets in that style) won't be released til after a North American tour. What's the chances they sit on that for the rest of Europe, release Europe sets (all in style of first set), then tour NA using mostly the second set, so NA gets to hear something totally fresh, then releases those sets after as per 14/15 sets.

Being selfish I hope they don't do this and release the second Barbican set with the first batch, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

woodpechre shirts incoming...

I've been looking for the article, but I can't find it anymore. iirc, she said she wished (cis)men wouldn't listen to her music and come to her shows, and that her lyrics are strictly queer business now. 

[Hi Res Album Covers Please]

[36 - Colours In The Dark (self-released)]

Yea this is A+++. The title track is the business. Going to be playing this one a lot this fall

He is impossible to keep up with but the Unity II album is absolutely incredible.
